“Janus is one normal unit under the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF),” Mr Mangau told reporters at his weekly press conference yesterday.
He added that during their festive season operations, all manpower were driven from all sectors of the RSIPF to join the operations.
Mangau said with conclusion of the festive season operations, officers are now returning to their normal functions.
